Description

本発明は、電動車両などに搭載される電池セル及び電池モジュールに関する。 The present invention relates to battery cells and battery modules mounted in electric vehicles and the like.

正極、負極、集電体、及びセパレータ、を備える電極体と、電極体を収容する外装体と、を備える電池セルや、複数の電池セルを収容した電池モジュールが知られている。例えば、特許文献１には、外装体としてラミネートフィルムを使用したラミネート電池セルが開示されており、外部端子をラミネートフィルム外装体の内部まで伸ばしてタブ積層体と電気的に接続し、ラミネートフィルム外装体と外部端子とは接触層を介して熱融着することが記載されている。 A battery cell including an electrode assembly including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a current collector, and a separator, and an outer package accommodating the electrode assembly, and a battery module accommodating a plurality of battery cells are known. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a laminated battery cell using a laminate film as an outer package. It is described that the body and the external terminal are heat-sealed via a contact layer.

特開２０１２－２１２５０６号公報JP 2012-212506 A

しかしながら、ラミネートフィルム外装体では、接着層を熱融着すればよいが、外装体が金属の板材のような厚みがある場合、外部端子などを接着層を熱融着させて固定するのは容易ではなく、がたつきが発生する虞がある。 However, in the case of the laminate film exterior body, the adhesive layer may be heat-sealed, but if the exterior body is thick like a metal plate material, it is easy to fix the external terminals and the like by heat-sealing the adhesive layer. Instead, there is a risk of rattling.

本発明は、電極体のがたつきをなくし、耐久性があがる電池セル及び電池モジュールを提供する。 The present invention provides a battery cell and a battery module in which rattling of an electrode body is eliminated and durability is improved.

図５Ａ及び図５Ｂに示すように、内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂの電極体２Ａ、２Ｂとの接触面５１は、凹凸形状を有する。例えば、図５Ａに示す接触面５１は、斜めに交差する筋目状の凹凸を有し、凸部（筋部分）が電極体２Ａ側に接触する。また、図５Ｂに示す接触面５１は、亀甲形の筋目状の凹凸を有し、凸部が電極体２Ａ側に接触する。このような接触面５１によれば、電極体２Ａ、２Ｂが内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂの凹凸形状に食い込むことで、電極体２Ａ、２ＢのＸ方向及びＹ方向の移動を規制できる。 As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, contact surfaces 51 of the internal insulators 5A and 5B with the electrode bodies 2A and 2B have uneven shapes. For example, the contact surface 51 shown in FIG. 5A has diagonally intersecting streak-like unevenness, and the convex portion (streak portion) contacts the electrode body 2A side. Further, the contact surface 51 shown in FIG. 5B has hexagonal streak-like unevenness, and the convex portion contacts the electrode body 2A side. According to such a contact surface 51, the electrode bodies 2A and 2B bite into the irregularities of the internal insulators 5A and 5B, thereby restricting the movement of the electrode bodies 2A and 2B in the X and Y directions.

第１内部絶縁体５Ａは、一方の電極体２Ａと第１外装部材４１との間に配置され、上記接触面５１を有する電極体絶縁部５２と、内部端子３Ａ～３Ｄと第１外装部材４１との間に配置される内部端子絶縁部５３と、電極体絶縁部５２と内部端子絶縁部５３とを連結する連結部５４と、を一体的に備える。なお、電極体絶縁部５２と内部端子絶縁部５３とは連結部５４によって一体に形成されてもよく、別体で形成されてもよい。 The first internal insulator 5A is disposed between one electrode body 2A and the first exterior member 41, and includes an electrode body insulation portion 52 having the contact surface 51, the internal terminals 3A to 3D, and the first exterior member 41. and a coupling portion 54 that couples the electrode body insulating portion 52 and the internal terminal insulating portion 53 together.

The thickness of the internal terminals 3A to 3D is equal to or less than the height of the internal terminal recess 531, so that the internal terminals 3A to 3D are prevented from projecting. Positioning projections 532 are formed between the internal terminal recesses 531 of the internal terminal insulating portion 53 to fit into the positioning holes 91 of the intermediate plate 9 to position the intermediate plate 9 .

（中間プレート）
中間プレート９は、例えば、ＰＰＳ材成形品であり、一対の電極体２Ａ、２Ｂ間に配置される。中間プレート９の電極体２Ａ、２Ｂとの接触面は、内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂの電極体２Ａ、２Ｂとの接触面５１と同様に、凹凸形状を有することが好ましい。これにより、電極体２Ａ、２Ｂが中間プレート９の凹凸形状に食い込むことで、電極体２Ａ、２ＢのＸ方向及びＹ方向の移動をさらに規制できる。 (intermediate plate)
The intermediate plate 9 is, for example, a molded PPS material, and is arranged between the pair of electrode bodies 2A and 2B. The contact surface of the intermediate plate 9 with the electrode bodies 2A and 2B preferably has an uneven shape like the contact surface 51 of the internal insulators 5A and 5B with the electrode bodies 2A and 2B. As a result, the electrode bodies 2A and 2B bite into the uneven shape of the intermediate plate 9, thereby further restricting the movement of the electrode bodies 2A and 2B in the X direction and the Y direction.

（外部絶縁体）
外部絶縁体７Ａ、７Ｂは、例えば、ＰＰＳ材成形品であり、正極用外部端子６Ａと外装体４との間に配置される第１外部絶縁体７Ａと、負極用外部端子６Ｂと外装体４との間に配置される第２外部絶縁体７Ｂと、を含む。外部絶縁体７Ａ、７Ｂは、外装体４の内部端子収容部４１２の外面に配置される。各外部絶縁体７Ａ、７Ｂには、外部端子用凹部７０が設けられ、ここに外部端子６Ａ、６Ｂが収容される。外部端子用凹部７０の高さは、外部端子６Ａ、６Ｂの厚さよりも高いことが好ましい。 (outer insulator)

The external terminals 6A and 6B are a positive electrode external terminal 6A (for example, pressed aluminum material) electrically connected to the first positive electrode internal terminal 3A and the second positive electrode internal terminal 3C, and a first negative electrode internal terminal. 3B and a negative electrode external terminal 6B (for example, a pressed copper material) electrically connected to the second negative electrode internal terminal 3D. The thickness of the external terminals 6A and 6B is equal to or less than the height of the external terminal concave portion 70 described above. This prevents the external terminals 6A and 6B from projecting.

（固定部材）
固定部材８Ａ～８Ｄは、第１正極用内部端子３Ａ、第１内部絶縁体５Ａ、第１外装部材４１、第１外部絶縁体７Ａ、及び正極用外部端子６Ａを共締めして固定する第１固定部材８Ａ（例えば、アルミ材プレス品）と、第２正極用内部端子３Ｃ、第１内部絶縁体５Ａ、第１外装部材４１、第１外部絶縁体７Ａ、及び正極用外部端子６Ａを共締めして固定する第２固定部材８Ｂ（例えば、アルミ材プレス品）と、第１負極用内部端子３Ｂ、第１内部絶縁体５Ａ、第１外装部材４１、第２外部絶縁体７Ｂ、及び負極用外部端子６Ｂを共締めして固定する第３固定部材８Ｃ（例えば、銅材プレス品）と、第２負極用内部端子３Ｄ、第１内部絶縁体５Ａ、第１外装部材４１、第２外部絶縁体７Ｂ、及び負極用外部端子６Ｂを共締めして固定する第４固定部材８Ｄ（例えば、銅材プレス品）と、を含む。 (fixing member)
The fixing members 8A to 8D fasten and fix the first positive electrode internal terminal 3A, the first internal insulator 5A, the first exterior member 41, the first external insulator 7A, and the positive electrode external terminal 6A together.

As shown in FIG. After inserting the shaft portion 82 through the hole formed in the member to be fixed, the distal end side of the shaft portion 82 is crimped (crushed), thereby sandwiching and firmly fixing the member to be fixed, and connecting the internal terminals 3A to 3D. It becomes possible to electrically connect the external terminals 6A and 6B.

（端子の配置構成）
以上のように構成された電池セル１によれば、正極用内部端子３Ａ、３Ｃ及び正極用外部端子６Ａは、外装体４のＸ方向一方側に配置され、負極用内部端子３Ｂ、３Ｄ及び負極用外部端子６Ｂは、外装体４のＸ方向他方側に配置される。これにより、電池セル１を積層して電池モジュールを組み立てる際に組付け性が向上する。 (Arrangement of terminals)
According to the battery cell 1 configured as described above, the positive electrode internal terminals 3A and 3C and the positive electrode external terminal 6A are arranged on one side of the exterior body 4 in the X direction, and the negative electrode internal terminals 3B and 3D and the negative electrode internal terminals 3B and 3D The external terminal 6B is arranged on the other side of the exterior body 4 in the X direction.

また、内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂの電極体２Ａ、２Ｂとの接触面５１は、凹凸形状を有するとともに、内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂは外装体４に固定されているので、外装体４の揺れによる電極体２Ａ、２Ｂの揺れを内部絶縁体５Ａ、５Ｂの凹凸で抑えることができる。これにより、電極体２Ａ、２Ｂの劣化が抑制され、電池セル１の耐久性が向上する。 Further, since the contact surfaces 51 of the internal insulators 5A and 5B with the electrode bodies 2A and 2B have uneven shapes and the internal insulators 5A and 5B are fixed to the exterior body 4, the shaking of the exterior body 4 causes The vibration of the electrode bodies 2A and 2B can be suppressed by the irregularities of the internal insulators 5A and 5B. As a result, deterioration of the electrode bodies 2A and 2B is suppressed, and the durability of the battery cell 1 is improved.
